Hi Hope someone have time to answer this because google is not giving me the answers I need. I have just started to use LVM(a few years later then everyone) and I'm wondering how I can protect my self from failure to the LVM setup. Before when I had for example 3 harddisk at 200gb each (/dev/sd[b-d]) with one partition each and a disk failed I would maximum lose 200gb. Now with LVM the LV is 600gb I'm worried that I can loose all if one disk have a problem. So how can I protect myself from this? What happens if I accidental destroys the LVM information? What happens if the first disk fails do I lose everything on the two second disk too?
